1. AFTGD is just an acronym for "Action Figure and Toy General Discussion". It's a forum on Toyark for non-specific toy discussions like this one.

2. It's more of a catch-all since the responses were becoming increasingly silly and off-topic. For example...

Basically, it's meant as a fair warning. We don't mind people who have legitimate arguments to present to fellow Arkers, but angry rant threads tend to quickly devolve into spam threads.

Well, look on the bright side: if this thread gets any more absurd after that post, it may have to get closed.

Anyway, here's a thought to get us back on topic - a legitimate complaint I have about Hasbro:

I am often confused by Hasbro's choices when it comes to case assortments. I understand the idea of front-loading cases with the more popular characters. I get that. But when you have cases with all 2nd- or 3rd-stringers in them, why can't they be in equal ratios? If that can't be done because of the number of characters in the wave vs. the number of figures to a case, then why not change the number of characters to a wave? Or have two case assortments that are complimentary and ship together so they offset each other?

Discuss.
